English for the workplace prepares you for employment in an English-speaking environment. All aspects of job search, resume writing and interview skills will be covered. You will also be challenged to develop your skills in writing emails, answering the phone, communicating with customers, participating in meetings, giving and responding to instructions and confidently holding everyday conversations.
